I guess to each his own. I do admit that the autoscaling was crude at best.
I included it, for the same reason PV-WAVE has a point and click interface,
there are managers out there who still like to play with data that they know
little about ;-) . I will take exception to the alleged "misuse" of
keyword_set. The only time n_elements is preferable to keyword_set is when the
keyword needs to allow zero to be a "good" value or when you need to know
whether the keyword is a scalar or an array. IMHO the first exception is more
of a bug. Zero should not be considered a sign of a non-set keyword, an unset
keyword has no value (be nice if the good folks at RSI could follow up on
this). Just to reiterate the tone of the original posting, I posted it so that
people could hack it to suit thier needs. I'm happy to see it was of some use
to someone.
